Crofton House School
Crofton House School, located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, is a private, university-preparatory school for girls that is constantly placed at the top of the Fraser Institute's school rankings in years past.
==History==
Crofton House School was founded in 1898 by the Gordon sisters, Miss Jessie Gordon and Miss Mary Gordon, in their father's home on Georgia Street with just four girls. Three years later, in 1901, the school moved to the corner of Jervis and Nelson in the West End. The name Crofton House was suggested by memories of the "Crofton Cottages" just outside Cambridge. The ivy leaf, the emblem of the Gordon clan, was chosen as the school emblem, and the motto became "servabo fidem" (I will keep the faith). Also, the school used to be a boys and girls school, but later on was just all girls. Crofton was a boarding school until 1990. The old boarding house is now used as the main administrative building, called "The Old Residence".
In 1937, the Misses Gordon retired and Crofton House School became an educational trust. Miss Sara E.G. Macdonald became Headmistress and in 1942 the school moved to the present site on West 41st Avenue in Kerrisdale. On the day of its 90th birthday the school received its own coat of arms, granted by the Lord Lyon. To mark this occasion the Rev. Dr. T. Herbert O'Driscoll wrote a hymn for the school, "We Thank You Lord For all the Years".
